I’d be willing to recklessly toss out a few ideas about Neptune now in Pisces… Pisces is a pretty diffuse sign with a wide and diverse range of manifestations – some are musicians and artists, some are mystics, there are the alcoholics and addicts, and the cons, and those few who are among the most ruthless businessmen you will find. Accordingly, Neptune has a wide range of influence as well, offering those things that promise to take us beyond an ego-limited level of experience (arts, mysticism, drugs and alcohol), magnetism on all levels, illusion, delusion, that truth is relative, not concretized as Saturn would have us believe (and Neptune may hold the higher truth there…) Oil and the oceans, water. On the highest level, Neptune relates to universal compassion. Consider how Neptune glamorizes what it touches, its seductive quality… as a generational indicator, look at it thru the last several signs, remembering that each sign is in part a reaction to what was extreme about the sign that preceded it –

• Neptune in Virgo – Ward and June Cleaver! Everything is neat and tidy, well-behaved, twin beds for the parents (on TV). There were mystical types, but deep under wraps. Otherwise, prudish and controlled.
• Neptune in Libra – no more tidy prudishness! Flower children! Love, love, love! dissolving traditional monogamous marriage to group love-ins, or serial monogamy, preferably running in slo-mo thru fields of daisies seen thru a soft-focus lens, and wearing gauze breezing behind in the wind…. Oh yes, and lots of recreational drugs, dude.
• Neptune in Scorpio – to hell with all this white light crap, where is the dark side to this shit?? This generation has a fascination with the unknown and unknowable, ranging from caution, to many tipping a toe in that ocean, to the full range of exploring the negative human unconscious. Now the glamour and style is looking dead, like zombies, goth, black tattered clothes, black hair and pale faces, with tattoos and body decoration with safety pins and other piercings. And oh so intense and dramatically gloomy. But deep!
• Neptune in Sagittarius – ok enough with the dark implosion and gloom, we want freedom and expansion! Now you can learn to meditate in college, and take part in ‘sensitivity groups.’ We worship (and grossly overpay) our sports heroes, big religion becomes big business in big churches (which (‘Big churches’) actually is a Library of Congress approved subject heading!) and on TV with big hair (the bigger the hair, the closer to the lord!) Others in spiritual pursuit go beyond the traditional western to explore Eastern religions and other alternative spiritual paths.
• Neptune in Capricorn - Big business becomes big business (yes, I meant that), starting the glam of MBAs and (creative) accountants. I remember being stunned when I got my first credit card thru the mail with a hologram on it within one week of Neptune entering Cap. Here too was the start of the collapse of the economy thru deregulation, tho the collapse wouldn’t be apparent to many till Pluto entered Cap… the cancerous growth of multinational corporations.
• Neptune in Aquarius – past the Saturnian into the future! The age of the technodudes and babes. Now we have our relationships over (if not with) computers, texting, online dating services, social networking sites. Technology, like so much, changes faster than we can keep up. Now it’s more important to know how to access what you need to know than to expect to be able to know it all.

Consider that for quite a few years, we had the Uranus-Neptune mutual reception to lubricate some of the changes… development in alternative healing, EM energetics. An important dynamic was the beginning of what seems to be an exponentially increasing acceleration and compression of time, as if it’s accelerating around and up a cone to an increasingly tightened orbit. Some say we’re moving to ‘vertical time’ which makes no sense but somehow feels right. Look at the explosion of new galactic bodies of many kinds – new "dwarf planets," kuiper body objects, Oort cloud objects, TNOs, centaurs, fixed stars, black holes, quasars, etc. It’s an incredible time to be an astrologer, and it’s an incredible and challenging time to be on this planet. So, Neptune now in Pisces? Some of this will sound nuts, fittingly… So far it’s sort of been like trying to tune a harpsichord in a room with a bad garage rock band playing, up against the stellium in Aries opp Saturn, and squaring Pluto. One thing is that nothing is what it appears to be, so the need to pay attention to the energy of things, not their appearance or apparent movement. We are being called to let go of our old conditioning and habituation, and so many are having old issues resurface, including old family patterns – not to beat ourselves up about, or regress to, or deny or suppress, but to acknowledge – “ah, yes, I remember you… thank you for your part in getting me to where I am now – I release you, and I’m doing it differently now.” Many are feeling ungrounded, uncertain and disoriented, as everything is uncertain and in radical flux. (everything is all fluxed up). Reminds me of that great quote by Tibetan Buddhist Chogyam Trungpa… “The bad news is that you are free-floating thru space - without a parachute. The good news is that there is no ground.” Neptune in Pisces viscous thoughts: The veils are getting thin between dimensions, and many are becoming more extremely who and what they are, like caricatures. With the quickening, more ‘instant karma’ – what you focus on becomes more real and expands, so keep your focus on what you feel gratitude for and what you want to see increase, not on what’s missing or what you fear, as fear sucks the energy right out of you and cuts you off from the light. But with clarity and grounding, not magical thinking and denial! There’s a thin but important line there… More extreme - there are many who are holding that the Earth herself is going thru a rebirthing process – thus the crazy-ass weather (that which is not man-caused) all over as she discharges negativity, with Earth burps, farts, and contractions. And that we, as cells of this Earth-body, are going thru major energy recalibrations in resonance ourselves, with sleep disruption, visual shifts, lots of throat issues, digestive sensitivities and changes, and leg/feet issues as we ‘learn to ground in the new Earth instead of the old one – it’s time’ There certainly is the illusion, delusion, and deception that we know of Neptune and Pisces. In its highest expression, Neptune relates to unconditional universal love. What seems to me to be happening is that after the herd consciousness back when we only knew the inner planets, the discovery of the transpersonal planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto brought the industrial revolution and the seeds of individuality which have developed to the extreme in some people of dualistic, polarized thinking and consciousness to the point of dissociated, sociopathic self-entitlement. That’s rewarded in our culture (see Wall St.), but ultimately isn’t working for us… it’s sure not working for the planet. Now, with the discovery of these new ‘dwarf planets’ – finally crosscultural! and the other cosmic bodies, holding a larger container for consciousness, Neptune in Pisces is offering a lead that it’s time not to lose our individuality (or computers!) but to evolve to unity consciousness and the realization that we are all interconnected and interdependent – we are all cells on this Earth body (as the Earth may be a cell in a larger cosmic body), as mentioned above. (some of us are antioxidants, some others are cancer cells) Universal compassion is the key to unity consciousness here. It’s important to know that compassion never means being a doormat, and it does mean maintaining appropriate boundaries. Because it’s been and going to continue to be one hell of a ride… the ones I’m concerned about are those who are desperately trying to hold onto the status quo, which is really no longer an option. The tea-bagger movement was designed to concretize fear and anger, in reaction to what is needed and beginning to emerge. More will come to light – maybe soon ‘first contact’? In the meantime, watch for more erosion of false beliefs and values, an increase in sensitivity and psychic capacity, as well as more radical issues around water, oil. The Corporati are going to do all they can to maintain and increase control and damage (GMOs, big pharma, etc). It may play out in all directions at once. I’m taking note of the children… some are ‘sheeple’ like their parents, but many are coming in with a level of spiritual evolution far beyond the older generations – they are aware, wise, extremely psychic, motivated, gifted, intelligent. Those not given chemical lobotomies, of course. But the ‘younger elders’ are what give me hope. Anyway, there is an excess of Piscean Neptunian musings for you…
